Find the equation of the line with a slope of 3/4 and passes through (4-2)

y = 3/4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of a line can be written in slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let's plug in what we know.

The slope is 3/4.

y = 3/4x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the point (4, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-2 = 3/4(4) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(4)

-2 = 3 + b

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.

-5 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 3/4x - 5

This is your equation. It has a slope of 3/4, and passes through (4, -2)

Hope this helps!

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
